I have been working with a health coach the last two years and have lost 95 pounds so far. I have been walking and following a keto diet. I downloaded the app for accountability and support. I'm 63, retired and married.
welcome to MFP @rovervicb1 !
What a superlative job so far! You should be very proud of yourself. That’s quite an accomplishment!
I am 63 as well, and have been on MFP for a little over seven years, first year or so was the loss, the rest of that in maintenance.
You’ll find a lot of support here if you get involved in the boards. In fact, I credit a lot of my own success to the awesome people who inhabit these boards. A few of them are very well versed in keto and have found it helpful with health issues.
I’d caution you to be careful of “friends requests”, though. 99.5% of those will be romance or crypto scammers, at least in my experience. ( I get a steady stream of requests because I post often. ) I don’t even bother accepting friends any more, it’s gotten so bad.
if you need any help navigating the app, please post and we’ll be happy to help.
I often think of how much better life is without toting all that extra weight around, and how bad my health would be now if I hadn’t. Be sure to take a moment to thank yourself, your coach, and be grateful for the changes YOU have wrought!
Much continued success to you!
